Yes, this trend will eventually stop on dating sites.
People uploading photos with animal face filters are the thing right now.
It has been popularized due to social media sites.
People like to follow what is trending or popular so that they don’t feel left out.
They want to be able to feel like they are a part of the group.
When they upload animal face filters to their social media accounts, they are most likely trying to match what another friend or follower has done on their own social media account.
These animal face filters tend to get very positive responses from people who may visit these social media accounts.
Everyone wants to be liked.
Hence, they feel the need to start using animal face filters in their own social media posts.
They get such positive responses to their animal face filters from people who follow their social media accounts and strangers that it can become addictive.
They love the fact that they can post a photo with an animal face filter on their social media account and receive more likes on that post than they would most of their other posts.
This kind of positive feedback and attention can become so exhilarating.
The more likes they get to these kind of photos on their social media sites, the more exhilarated they get and thereby, they keep doing it.
Unfortunately, some of these people take this mindset and behavior into online dating.
They have gotten so many positive responses to their animal face filter photos on their social media accounts that they believe that they should use the same kind of photos on an online dating site.
They believe that this is all in good fun.
They believe that using these kind of photos help to reflect their personalities and lighten the mood.
Indeed, as a person who happens to be browsing through dating profiles on an online dating site, you may become perplexed to run into a dating profile that has a person using an animal face filter as their primary photo.
You may think that this is some kind of joke.
However, if you start running across more and more dating profiles with people who have uploaded animal face filters as opposed to showing their full face, it could easily start getting annoying.
Do understand that these are people who are so used to getting positive responses to these kind of photos on their social media accounts, that they believe that the same will happen on an online dating site.
Yes, most other people don’t join an online dating site in the hopes that they find profile after profile of people with animal face filters.
However, the people who use animal face filters on their social media accounts may have gotten so used to the positive feedback that they get on them, that those filters almost become a part of them.
They start identifying with them to the point where they may even feel like they are too naked or exposed if they were to post photos of their actual face on their social media.
In essence, they start believing that they look way better and cuter with an animal face filter.
This is the attitude and mindset that they bring into joining an online dating site for the first time.
They aren’t yet privy to just how annoying these kind of photos can be to other members of the online dating site who are on there to find a relationship and not there to dish out likes.
However, this trend of people uploading photos with animal face filters will eventually stop because the people who are doing this aren’t going to have much success in finding romantic relationships if they keep it up.
They may be able to get away with doing this on social media sites but online dating is a different factor altogether.
Once they notice that people on the online dating site are simply ignoring them, they will get the idea.
At that point of true realization, they will relegate these kind of photos to their social media sites and upload proper photos to their online dating accounts.
